Oh ok. Tried to figure it out with all the quotes but it never was really clear what they meant.
Thanks god. All the footage looks so fantastic, I want it in native res, that's so super important for me, 30fps are more than fine here.
They're definitely moving. There are moments in the clip where the camera doesn't move for 1-2 seconds, if you look at a straight line on the wallpaper then, you can see that the clouds change their position. It's so cool. I can't wait to discover all the things we haven't even seen yet!
That's weird to me since a huge part of the game is what your house and other things like the museum end up looking like.
It's not like the gameplay in the series is mindblowing.
I want everything clean as can be because with the portable ones, your items(especially the smaller ones) looked blurry and rough due to the image quality.
I love your username haha quite relevant!
Framerate isn't as big as an issue for me, but I agree, how could they not get AC in 60fps? It can't be THAT demanding of a game?
Have you looked at the graphics? It looks amazing, rock solid, no blur, on a freaking Switch.
60 just isn't necessary for this game vs improved graphics and solid performance.

"You know what's a great way to show off this animated wallpaper that moves extremely slowly? Whip the camera around constantly so you can hardly see that it moves!"
The bag is fine and all but LOOK at those details on the once simplistic AC character. The textures and structure of the clothing. The lighting/shading. The socks and shoes. I love love the art design of this game just so much.If your favorite team is tanking...

I see a lot of people ignoring the insane amount of work that has gone into creating all of the clothing in this game. It used to be different designs slapped on top of the same shirt/dress, now it's completely unique models with their own textures and materials and everything.
This is the main reason I'm excited to change outfits often. Everything looks so nice.
Yup material design/details is incredible and really adds a sense of warmth and texture to everything in the world.
A game like AC is exactly the type of game that benefits from better graphics rather than high framerate though lol. It's all about customization and cuteness, nobody cares about how smooth it is as long as it looks amazing. If to get it running at 60fps they had to scale down the graphics that would be a downgrade to most people, not an upgrade.

yeah but like he gives you 100 for an apple off a tree outside. it makes sense for that to be a buck, not a hundred
(sorry to be uncool about this lol)
After watching the clip like 8 times, I'm still not convinced there is animation there. I think it's an optical illusion.
All good. You're likely right though and I wasn't even thinking about it looking at the screens.
Can't play it though. It won't start until Nintendo sends out unlock keys at 00:00 local time.
I don't think they're going to get to actually play before the release date, all digital copies need to be unlocked on Nintendo's end.
Oh, is that a new thing? Never knew they could do that. But I don't buy many digital games. I'm guessing it's just like a pre-load then?
That's exactly what it is, they allow people with digital preorders to download the bulk of the game's data early to help prevent server overloads on release day.

I never got particularly investing in the fashion/furniture side of AC in New Leaf, because so much of it wasn't particularly appealing. I used to sell nearly all of it, lol.
But with New Horizons --
Everything is so gorgeous, my god.

Yeah, I did the bare minimum to get gold from the HHA and barely touched any clothes at all. But NH is like a whole new world.I never got particularly investing in the fashion/furniture side of AC in New Leaf, because so much of it wasn't particularly appealing.

The only thing that bothered me in the recent footage is how much higher all of the animals' voices are. They're at least a full octave higher than they have been in past games and for the first time I'm worried they might be genuinely annoying. Their voices also feel a little more homogenized, losing some of the range they use to have.
Gulliver in New Horizons and City Folk (he sounded the same in New Leaf, but I couldn't find a clean video of him there) for comparison

I did notice that the male and female villager voices feel like they blend together a lot more. The male voices are veeery noticeably higher pitched this time.
It wasn't just the lack of detail in new leaf it was also the cumbersome interface that kept me from really caring about things like my clothes and my house. It's best to just find something you liked and stick with it forever. Everything about housing and clothing looks so good now, though. Could change clothes every day and still have fun with it now.
I love seeing all the different customized towns in these trailers! The game looks so fantastic. The character customization and the ability to place items outside adds so much to Animal Crossing. ❤
I thought I noticed this as well. Hopefully there is still a good deal of variety.
The potential homogenization of voices does seem like a problem, but as far as the voices in general go, I actually find them to be significantly more euphonious in NH - they're... softer, I guess. The tiny samples blend together more smoothly, so it sounds a lot less clicky than it has in the past.
Does having multiple player villagers in your town reduce the number of AI villagers that can live there?
